I received my omni the other day and have found that you don't need the rubber band (which removed the need to disassemble the barkbuster)

I didn't buy this for my bike as I already have the Kaoko installed, but was thrilled to determine that for most grip types the band isn't needed. This means it's very transportable from one bike to another (the main selling point for me).

Looking forward to using it on the F800 I'll be riding to Anchorage in May.

I was very impressed with the quality of this part considering the very low price point. Nice work!
